DAY 4: Spectacular, Spectacular
Activity 1: Planes, Trains and Automobiles [4 points]
Arguably, one of the most dramatic and spectacular (beautiful) places to visit in New Zealand is Milford Sound. It has been referred to as the ‘eighth wonder of the world.’ It is a beautiful fiord (steep valley) that was formed when big pieces of ice (glaciers) melted. The melted glaciers created a beautiful river that is surrounded by dramatic cliffs and snow-capped mountains. People who visit Milford Sound are able to take a boat cruise through the middle of the fiord, walk around the area on the Milford Track or fly above the fiord as part of a private helicopter tour.
Let’s imagine that you had the chance to visit Milford Sound by boat, foot (walking) or air (helicopter). Which option would you prefer?
On your blog tell us which of the three options you would take to explore Milford Sound. Be sure to tell us why you have chosen this option.
I would choose to visit Milford Sound by air (helicopter) from the three other options because I would love being in the air as I do enjoy being on planes. It would also be cool to see all the land underneath me. It would be very exciting for me and I know for sure that I will really enjoy this visit.

Kia ora Tyra,
My name is Hazel and I am part of the Summer Learning Journey (SLJ) team. I’ll be helping Sophie and the team out in Manaiakalani.
I would also choose to visit Milford Sound by helicopter. I think it would be an incredible view! I would also like to do some walking around there too. Where is somewhere else that you would like to visit one day?
Hazel :)
